Like Mundine, this guy is an absolute moron. Any common ground between them?

Steffensen, Mundine, perhaps it's time for everyone to face up to the fact that the responsibility for their failijngs rests on their own shoulders, it is not the fault of others. Playing the racism card every time that you don't get what you want is becoming very old and tiresome.

Here's another Dill right up there with Mundine - can't keep their mouth shut!! Onya John - you're a good runner but you'll only ever be remembered for your mouth!!

meh. he isn't that good by international standards (compare his best to all time bests and he isn't even close) but the way he carries on after winning a low key event you'd think he was in the same league as michael johnson. the dude seems to think he is better than he actually is and can't grasp that he is just average.

What was funny was that Athletics Australia made the right call in putting the other guy. Steffensen was dismal in the relay for Australia whilst a young guy performed PB's. Good call Athletics Australia. Who does he think he is? Johnson would have beaten him by at least 10m easy so is not world class.

AA flexing their muscles. It is sad to see that athlets have to pander to the egos of the officials in order to compete. A wired up racehorse cannot be expected to behave like a toff.

About time someone challenged the "ever boring" racist card. Well done AA.

I think it's a bit harsh. He is a triple Olympian & a commonwealth gold medalist, so he does have some credibility, what have you lot done? Probably nothing. We should respect athletes who have represented Australia, it most often comes with a lot of sacrifice & expense & let's be honest we all love to wave the flag when they win don't we?
